This might be fun for a few days but it would quickly become tiring for most. Even a manual would be less work - brake, clutch in, shift to first.
That's why there are 4 different shift modes, from fully manual (unassisted) to snow, sport, and normal "Camry" modes. So if you don't want to shift, it can shift on its own between lights and traffic.
